This one below was supposed to, but I was traveling and the post failed to fire for reasons unknown — and I was unable to properly troubleshoot whilst in the sun-humped cactusland of Phoenix, Arizona. And I would’ve posted late, but this is a good enough challenge I wanted to grant it the full week that it properly deserves.

That said, we’re back!

And we’re back with a title mixup challenge.

Here’s how this works:

You pick one item from each table. You can use a random number generator to do so, or grab your nearest d20 and get rolling. You mash Column X with Column Y and you get yourself a title to use.

You can modify that title a tiny bit — permutations allowed are adding “the” and making a word plural or non-plural as you see fit. But that’s it. Don’t fidget too much, goddamnit.

Examples might be:

The Dismal Warbler!

God’s Own Testmaker!

The Radioactive Mummy!

And so forth.

You’ve got 1500 words this go around. Write it up at your blog post or other online space, and make sure we have a link in the comments so we can read it. Due by Friday the 12th, noon EST.

Hello! An acquaintance linked this challenge to me, so I thought I would give it a shot. I’m quite new to wordpress and Chuck Wendig, but I found this challenge to be fun, even though I think my story is a bit different style from the others. Oh, well, at least it got my creative juices flowing.

I got Forgotten and Brains, and then my brain went to a very dark place. Also, look! I did a thing! I took my wussypants off and put my big girl pants on, and I did the thing! Huzzah!http://mschaotica.tumblr.com/

Cough cough, is this thing still on? It seems a little dusty over here, like everyone moved onto new posts, but I finally completed this flash fiction challenge. I got “Five Days of the Straightjacket.” Enjoy!
